Art movements were especially important in [[modern art]], where each consecutive movement was considered as a new [[avant-garde]]. Movements have almost entirely disappeared in [[contemporary art]], where individualism and diversity prevail. The term refers to tendencies in [[visual art]], novel ideas and [[architecture]], and sometimes [[literature]]. In [[music]] it is more common to speak about [[genre]]s and [[fashion|styles]] instead. See also [[cultural movement]], a term with a broader connotation. Because the names of many art movements use the -ism suffix (for example [[cubism]] and [[futurism (art)|futurism]]), they are sometimes referred to as ''isms''. == See also == *[[List of art movements]] *[[Art periods]] *[[Art history]] *[[History of painting]] *[[Cultural movements]] *[[:Category:Literary movements|Literary movements]] *[[:Category:Musical movements|Musical movements]] ==External links== * [http://witcombe.sbc.edu/ARTH20thcentury.html 20th-Century Art] Compiled by Dr.Witcombe, Sweet Briar College, Virginia. * [http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/ WebMuseum, Paris] Themes index and detailed glossary of art periods. * Marika Herskovic, [http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/oclc/50253062&tab=holdings ''American Abstract Expressionism of the 1950s An Illustrated Survey,''] (New York School Press, 2003.)
